My Forays into Fiber and other Geeky Things

Yesterday was my actual birthday. So I did what I always do.. I went skiing.... at this lovely resort way out the back and beyond up Delaware County Road 41 where the head waters of the Delaware River come from. Looking down one slope I had the courage to go down.... Don't tell Harriet but this was a 60-70 degree slope with a double black diamond rating (with the 80 degree surprise thrown in every now and again) oh the buildings down the bottom are the lodge... I took this slope by carving s turns from one side to the other... At my age (49) it's not how fast you go but that you make it down in one piece and that you never go faster than your legs will let you.. See the reports of of crashes from the Womens' downhill at the Olympics Outside link LA TIMES To prove that there is knitting content The helmet liner in action

The longer I live here, the more I love this house. This morning is glorious, albeit a little on the cool side with the temp widget showing 13 degrees F or for those who made the jump to metric -10.5 degrees celsius. (centigrade) Looking out of the skylight in the slowly coming together craft room. Yet another look out of the upper hallway window I really don't get tired of the view. Which reminds me, I did actually knit in December FO Hat for Foster Child, Boy Aged 10 Ribbed Snow Hat. It came together so fast, that I decided to knit another for myself. Simply because, I don't have hair now. Yeah, It's gone.... 3 years in the growing. Oh, the scarf? Harriet knit that for me a buncha years ago and it's still one of my favorites. For what it's worth, the girls won't get out of bed.

I was thinking Last year at this time I was just done knitting this... Helmet liner It was not entirely a failure, but close ... I need to lay in a whole buncha cascade 220 so I can knit for this situation which looks a lot like here Have a great yule....
